This happened to me for the first time on this update. In fact, at some point in the past I was away from my home for an extended period and upon returning, one of my Nest cameras would not stay connected to wifi. I thought the camera was at fault but I eventually logged in and saw that I needed...

No, nothing like that at all.

13 characters. Ever since your first suggestion to me, I've followed the same instructions every time I've had to factory reset: 8-16 characters, no special characters, never before used ID's and passwords (for both SSID/password and router login ID/password). I'm running out of witty SSID ideas lol

My mind is now officially blown. Went to log in to the admin page just to see if i could mess with some settings and figure out what's wrong with this thing and it wouldn't accept my password. 100% the correct password, had it written down in 2 separate places, would not accept it. Had to...

Well, it was fun while it lasted. Same problems started happening again. So I factory reset again, created a whole new SSID, whole new password, both never used before, nothing but letters and numbers. Forgot the old network on every device, set every device back up on the new network...

lol okay fair enough. Thanks again, you're awesome!

@L&LD First of all, thank you. Second of all, wow. I'm a total noob so I might just be easily impressed, but that worked completely. After I made my post, I turned my third Nest camera on that had been manually turned off since before the update. I realized that it too would not connect to the...

Ever since this recent update, one device in my home seems to be randomly selected to get terrible wifi reception (<1 mbps down). Every other device on wifi will get the normal 150+ mbps. Maybe it's a simple setting that needs to be changed but I'm not sure what it could be. One constant is that...

AC5300 wouldn't connect to the internet after the update. Needed a factory reset to work again.

Maybe I just don't understand how a VPN is supposed to work or maybe I am just not understanding the tutorials I've found but I have an ASUS RT-AC5300 with merlin 384.7 . I thought I had my PIA set up directly with the router by following this...

Now that it's been weeks, I wanted to share that I worked my magic and got amazon to trade me a new router. Now I just have to figure out how to set up this damn PIA so I can stop being DDoS'ed on PS4

oh wow ok thank you i didn't know that. I guess I'll give that a whirl. Seems like every time I try to fix something, two new problems appear.

lol i sure did. jumped the gun on that, went to amazon right after and realized i was ONE DAY past the return allowance, so now i'm stuck with this thing. Using Merlin 384.6, actually did a factory reset a few days ago to just start from scratch, when i pulled up the admin page after that, it...

So I've had the ASUS AC5300 router for about a month now with countless issues. The latest issue is that both my 5GHz-1 and 5GHz-2 bands have just fully disappeared from my list of available networks on all devices in my home. I have no idea why this happened. They have been visible and I have...

Returned teh router. Expensive paperweight
